The beloved Tramlines Festival has announced their official 2021 line-up will be released on 26 April at 6pm.<\/p>\n
The fate of the festival unfortunately depends on the scale of Covid-19 cases and whether lockdown restrictions will be lifted as planned.<\/p>\n
Tramlines’ spokesperson, Alex Deadman, said: \u201cWe learn things at the same time as the public. There is still absolutely no guarantee we can do the festival at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The government set out their roadmap out of lockdown earlier this year, highlighting 21 June as the earliest possible date for normality in the UK.<\/p>\n
Mr Deadman said the festival is in an unusual position, where they are almost sold out before ticket sales have begun due to people saving their tickets from 2020.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s ticket sales have helped secure the festival’s finances, since many have been forced to cancel due to the lack of government-backed insurance schemes, including Hampshire\u2019s Boomtown.<\/p>\n
The organisers have said they plan to announce over 40 artists, including all of their headliners.<\/p>\n
In a statement released on Tuesday, they said: \u201cWe\u2019ll be announcing over 40 artists, including all three Nulty\u2019s Main Stage headliners plus all T\u2019Other stage artists, all Library headliners & so much more! Watch this space, it\u2019ll be worth the wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2020, we missed out on acts including Ian Brown, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Madness.<\/p>\n
Many believe last year\u2019s main headliners will be recycled to perform the set Covid prevented them from doing last year.<\/p>\n
On 7 April, the Tramlines Twitter account retweeted a post by the Courteeners, with the caption: \u201cSo. Many. Bangers.\u201d Could this be a hint at a possible headliner?<\/p>\n
